As we approach the September, Apple fans are getting impatient. Indeed, it is traditionally in September that Apple organizes its keynote for the new iPhones, the most important event of the year for the firm. And The good news is that Apple has just announced the date of this event. The iPhone 16 series will be unveiled on Monday, September 9, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. local time or 7:00 p.m. French time.

A very important launch for Apple

In any case, the launch of the iPhone 16 and its variants will be very important for Apple, since these models should propel the Cupertino firm into the race for artificial intelligence. As a reminder, during its WWDC conference, Apple unveiled Apple Intelligence, a series of features based on generative artificial intelligence for compatible iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

These features will be available to some users worldwide starting this fall. However, due to hardware restrictions, Apple Intelligence is currently only compatible with two iPhone models: the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. But rumors are circulating online that all models in the iPhone 16 series will also be compatible with Apple Intelligence. As a result, Apple is expected to see strong growth in smartphone sales after the launch of the iPhone 16.

Unfortunately, users in the European Union will have to wait a little longer. Indeed, due to the difficulties caused by the new EU rules, Apple has decided not to offer Apple Intelligence on iPhones used in the European Union in 2024. Other features, such as the ability to control the iPhone from the screen of a Mac, will also be absent in 2024, for the same reasons.

An early launch for macOS Sequoia

Otherwise, recent rumors have suggested that Apple could bring forward the launch of macOS Sequoia, the new version of its operating system for Mac. Typically, the new version of macOS is rolled out after the iOS version. But according to some sources, this year, Apple could release iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia simultaneously. Why ? This would ensure that iPhone Mirroring, which allows you to control the iPhone from macOS, works properly. But here too, this is a rumor and therefore caution is advised.
